Volume 5 Chapter 3 The Message of the Orchid
In the dawn of Xianyang, there are countless figures swaying inside and outside the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Qin State, which seems to have calmed down, has shown unusual indifference inside and out, and for the sake of rights and interests, various characters communicate frequently in private.
Don't look at Lu Buwei as the prime minister, he has great power. But there are some things that he can't ask about. Half of the military power in his hands, half of the generals in the military camp obeyed the orders of the queen mother. At least the commander of the palace guards is still the great commander. There is a saying among the people: the king of flowing water, the ruler of iron.
And those generals who lead troops outside, except for those from military families and people with backgrounds, many of them come out of the guards. What is the fastest promotion in the Qin State is to be able to independently lead an army, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and use military merit to take the position.
Therefore, many young people have more people visiting the Great Commander than Lü Buwei. In the face of this situation, Lü Buwei had no choice, if he wanted to gain the trust of the great secretary, he had to have a good relationship with Yingzheng, and he had to completely overthrow the status of the Empress Dowager Huayang in the harem.
Lü Buwei has half of the military power of the Qin State, and he also has half of the tiger talisman, which was handed over to him by Yingzheng. Lü Buwei clearly knows that his power position is very high on the surface, but there are two things that are too poor. The first is that he has not personally killed the enemy, and the second is that the generals in the army are looking at the queen mother's meaning.
If one day, in front of all the generals, Lü Buwei and Mrs. Huayang stand together, those generals will definitely only listen to the words of the Queen Mother and disrespect Lü Buwei's voice. After all, Lü Buwei was born as a businessman, and in the aristocratic class, the most feared person was a businessman.
This is a limitation of a society and the sorrow of an era.
Ying Zheng also knew that he couldn't do anything during this period, he had to let Lü Buwei and the Queen Mother fight. There is nothing to fear about giving power to Lü Buwei, and his biggest threat is the queen mother in the palace.
Da Si Ming was born in Leng Yue, but he has lived in the palace for many years and has a deep friendship with Mrs. Huayang. So Ying Zheng didn't ask her for anything, only a sentence, what to do usually, how to do it now!
The eldest secretary also understands that his son-in-law has just ascended the throne and his position is unstable. Everyone inside and outside the palace in this palace watched that if the power in his hands was not stable, he could not eradicate dissidents, so as not to be tongue-in-cheek.
Then let Lü Buwei and the Queen Mother fight, and she doesn't need to be difficult between Yingzheng and the Queen Mother.
In this way, Lu Buwei felt a lot of pressure, and with the friendship between the great secretary and the queen mother, of course people would be biased towards the queen mother. After all, Lu Buwei is not from the palace, there used to be the first king Yingzi Chu there, and as soon as the first king died, the big secretary only listened to the queen mother.
Mrs. Huayang is keen on power, and now her ears are pure, this palace is no better than in the court, and everything has to be decided by her. Therefore, every time Lü Buwei enters the palace to see Yingzheng, he has to register with the eunuch in charge of the house and report to Huayang Palace for a reply before he can enter.
It's not like I haven't told Yingzheng about such a thing, but what can I do? The rules in this palace are Huayang Palace's final say. And Yingzheng told him that although the great secretary was from Lengyue, he had too deep a friendship with the Queen Mother, and he had not been on the throne for a long time, so he really couldn't tear his face with the Queen Mother and make it difficult for her.
And the palace is not familiar, there are no three or five years, and the power of the queen mother does not dare to move lightly. When the ministers and generals outside saw that the king and the queen mother were in harmony, people's hearts were naturally stable, and it was easier to govern in the court.
It will take another three years and five years, and Lu Buwei can't afford to wait for such a long time. The first king went, and the relationship between the previous fights in the palace was almost over, and if he didn't do something, he would seem constrained in doing things.
The commander of the guards can't fight for it in a short time, so at least he has to send some close subordinates to the palace as guards. The inner guards are all the leaders of the Great Commander, and everyone knows the relationship between this and the Queen Mother. If you want to insert your cronies in, you can't bypass the Huayang Palace.
Of course, there is another person who can be fought for, and that is Mi Chen. This lord in charge of the finances of the Qin State is also a member of the Mi clan and has the closest relationship with the Queen Mother.
After Lü Buwei and Mi Chen met, he said that he wanted to send a few people with good military strength into the palace as guards and establish a good relationship with the palace. Being familiar inside and outside can make the political situation in Daqin more stable.
At this point, Mi Chen also agreed, after all, the Qin State has this tradition. The guards in the palace are all from a clean background and are from noble backgrounds. As long as they meet that qualification, each family will send in a few young people, and after the training of the chief secretary, they can be sent to the army for further study.
But the Queen Mother didn't wait to see Lu Buwei, and Mi Chen didn't persuade the Queen Mother for a short time, so she said bluntly: "If you want to send someone into the palace, you have to agree to one point, that is, when the king is married, you have to find a way to let the king make the princess of Chu as the concubine, so that you can persuade the queen mother." ”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei left with a smile, and his face became cold in a blink of an eye.
The power of Huayang Palace is too great, and the women of the Mi family are too powerful, it will be difficult to meet a Empress Dowager of Huayang, and you have to send a concubine of Chu Guozheng out. If you really do that, one woman will be difficult to deal with, and it will become two at once. Your Mi clan's power has been consolidated, and your own power will definitely have to be divided again.
What's more, he may not be able to speak to Yingzheng and Shang Gong. In the Qin State, the harem Mi clan is in charge, and the Chaotang Ying clan is in charge. The Ying family has long been dissatisfied with the Qi family, but they just don't dare to say it. You Mi Chen don't want to say, let me do the thing that offends people, do you want to do it as a prime minister.
And Ying Zheng had already told him in private that he didn't want the princess of Chu to be the concubine. In particular, the swordswoman clearly said that the first king was stabbed, and the murderer behind the scenes has not yet been found, and the woman next to the king must have a clear way.
Lü Buwei also agrees with this, because they are all optimistic about one, that is, Princess Zhao Guomin. After all, Qin and Zhao are both military powers, and they really can't raise swords anymore. And Princess Min Dai also has an identity, that is, the cold moon people, who live in the cold moon building all year round.
Zhao Guo didn't want to have any more disputes, so he tried his best to lobby the Xianyang nobles, and gave him gifts to Lu Buwei in private. If you can't do it yourself because you can't do it yourself in the concubine, there will be more people who will offend.
The harem concubine, although it is mainly Yingzheng, but everyone understands a truth, if this princess can't satisfy everyone, as a king, he doesn't dare to refute it in person. This is the principle that the king has no small matter, and everything should be a matter of state.
Worried, Lu Buwei is really worried.
At this time, Zhao Gao in the palace was more worried than Lu Buwei.
Zhao Gao returned to the palace from the Cold Moon Mansion and said: "The king, Princess Hu Ji told the villain that except for Princess Zhao Guomin and Princess Tian Ling of Qi Guo, the princesses of the other four countries cannot be established as concubines. ”
"The princess said that Min Dai is a cold moon person, considered his own family, with a soft temperament, and does not like to argue with others, which is in line with the status of the lord of the harem. Tian Ling is the royal family of Qi State, and he is also a subordinate of Tian Dao, at this time, anyone can assassinate the king, but Tian Dao does not dare, because if he does so, he will force the shepherd girl to go crazy. ”
"The two on the bright side are unlikely to harm the king. And the other princesses of the four countries, there must be hidden assassins among them, and those assassins should follow the four princesses, and it is impossible for Leng Yuefu to find out everyone. ”
"And ask the villain to pass a message to Miss Zhongli, after those princesses come, even if the king has a round room with him, he will let you serve around."
Ying Zheng was shocked and said: "Hu'er has to take care of this? What did she really say? ”
It's no wonder that Ying Zheng doesn't believe it, since she became the king of Qin, she has been kept outside. If you want to say which woman is the most intimate, it is naturally the orchid. As for Zhongli, at least Yingzheng doesn't dare to think about it now, after all, the difference in strength between the two is too big, not to mention that Zhongli doesn't care at all. In addition to the relationship between teacher and friend, Zhongli can only be equivalent to a female bodyguard, and the two never talk about the relationship between men and women, and everyone can't mention their love.
Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said, "The princess did say so. ”
After saying that, he broke out in a cold sweat, what kind of words were passed on, which made his master unhappy. Both of you are your own masters, so why should I be involved in your affairs. The more I know this, the more dangerous it will be in the future, and it is really unkind for me to say it to my face.
Of course, if he is not kind, Zhao Gao will not dare to say it if he is killed, he can only hold it in his stomach and think about it, even Weilan and others can't tell it. Why did Hu Ji let Zhao Gao spread these words, and people also said in front of Zhao Gao, since you are a person close to your eldest brother, you should know more, so that you can do things better in the future.
With Hu Ji's mind, Zhao Gao couldn't hear the meaning inside. Zhao Gao's family is in Yongcheng, and he also knows that Hu Ji is the head of the Mo family. What the Mo family does, Zhao Gao knows very well, and the more he knows, the more he dare not say more. Even if he usually does things, Zhao Gao will be cautious and walk on thin ice, for fear that he will do something wrong and be punished by the unusually smart princess.
"What the princess said is reasonable, don't wait for those princesses, let Mi Run and Gongzi have a round room tonight, and I will guide the method of double cultivation by the side." Zhong Li said lightly: "Since the exercises have been practiced, they cannot be interrupted. ”
Ying Zheng was dumbfounded, doing that kind of thing has to be done in front of you, double cultivation exercises, to put it bluntly, it is the Taoist art of replenishment. As long as she learns, a frail woman may not necessarily get out of bed for three days.
"Run'er is still so young, why don't you continue to let the leaves ......"
Zhongli said indifferently: "Lin Ye still needs some time to recuperate his body and restore his essence. The strength of the son should be improved, and Lin Ye, as a personal maid, must of course also be improved. ”
"In the future, the son and the woman will have the same room, and Lin Ye will also watch and learn to increase the efficiency of double cultivation."
Lin Ye's face was red, and he whispered, "Follow my sister's teachings." ”
Ying Zheng was speechless, since he asked Lin Ye to follow Zhongli to learn art, he had to make Zhongli nod his head in everything. What an obedient girl she used to be, now she is about to become someone else's subordinate. But Zhongli can't be regarded as someone else's, he should also be his own woman, but in the face of cold faces all day long, why can't he be interested at all?
Ying Zheng shook his head and said casually: "The arrival of the princesses of various countries and the marriage of the nations are traditional, and it is rare for assassins to be mixed in. And these princesses themselves, except for one Tian Ling, most of them don't know martial arts, and Hu Er is worried. ”
Zhongli said coldly: "How can the methods of assassins be measured by whether they can use martial arts? Let me ask you, does Princess Orchid know martial arts? ”
Ying Zheng said: "Of course not! ”
"So what is the identity of the princess? She is the leader of the Mo family, not only has a living dead behind her as a backer, but also the leader of many assassins, many assassination operations have been arranged by her, is her assassination method clever? ”
……
Ying Zheng opened his mouth, completely speechless......
